I'm looking at the micro orchid Bulbophyllum moniliforme for my paludarium. My other various mini orchids are starting to show new growth now that they've gone through the 'adjustment phase', so I am pretty pumped to add a few more to my collection now that I am fairly certain I am not going to kill them
.
Anyway, I'm wondering what experiences you've had with Bulbophyllum moniliforme and if you can give any tips on it. One concern I have is that I don't have enough space in my tank to simply put this orchid in, still attached to the stick or cork that it would come attached to (not to mention I will need to bleach dip the plant). Soooo, seeing as how this orchid is so darn micro and has the little beady bulbs, I wonder if there's any way I could detach it from it's growing stick without destroying it.
Thanks for any advice
